“Pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 17.01, this communication is submitted as the notice of my resignation as Sheriff of Milwaukee County commencing Aug. 31, 2017, at 11:59 p.m.,” Clarke’s resignation said.

Once that happens, the governor will seek applications, a process that usually takes a couple of weeks, and then begin interviewing candidates. Applicants must live in Milwaukee County to be appointed to the post.

Clarke has repeatedly come under fire for statements where he equated the Black Lives Matter movement with ISIS. He was also called upon to resign after it was revealed that four people died at his jail — all within a few months apart.

Clarke was reportedly offered a job by Trump in the Department of Homeland Security, but later turned down the offer.
